Has it occurred to you that all the searching in the world can’t help you find a website that isn’t indexed?

Obscure errors especially may not exist for you to find, and depending on how small and obscure the music is you’re looking for, it may not exist or be properly indexed.

Search engines aren’t magic.

Maybe? How niche are we talking? Are you saying the websites you need to find exist but you can’t find them via a search engine?

I honestly thought people didn’t have issues finding things via a search engine anymore. TIL people still struggle with it.

I never have trouble finding what I’m looking for online. Are you saying you do?

There is significant overlap between those two things. Depending on how old you are, you may not remember a time when people didn’t know how to search for information on the Internet; it was a skill people needed to learn. These days it’s pretty difficult to mess up finding what you want to find on the Internet, as the tools have been refined so much that it’s nearly idiot proof.

It’s much the same way with using an LLM. We’re at the stage where using an LLM is a skill many people don’t have, and it leads to incorrect outputs. I have no doubt that the same refinement will happen for LLMs as happened with search engines.

I dunno, that sounds pretty moderate to me.

I was recently looking into this myself, and I saw someone recommend FileFlows, but it was recommended for ease of setup/use, not because it’s open source. Figured I’d mention it, but note that I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet.

Yeah, it’s the distinction between “anonymous” and “private”.

It’s almost like capitalism is a problem.

Your cynicism isn’t properly calibrated.

If you look at the viewpoint of a CEO, you’ll see that they would be chomping at the bit to get rid of as many high paying technical or administrative roles as they can; it’s not like that extra money is going to flow down the chain.

Now, if there were a threat of LLMs replacing a management position, that would be a different story.

Edit: Apparently my reading comprehension is what needs calibrating. Turns out I agree! My bad.
